Turned on my graphic pen

Been trying to get some time to draw this year.
It has been a little harder but I am squeaking in some more time when sitting and listening to calls during the day.
Ive been working on a few things, but totally ruined some others.
For some strange reason my tshirts have been selling on Zazzle so I figured I should start whipping some up for the future.

Blogging once again

Blogger decided to remove my option to post for free.
So good bye Blogger and on to Serendipity.

Update on dopers- someone commented they wanted more info

I got some feedback the other day on my doper info on my blog about LA's teammates getting busted post LA's retirement.

http://www.bikebuzz.net/2008/07/yeah-anti-doping-threats-worked-at-tour.html

Here is the count down:
--------------------------------------------------
Tricky Beltran / 2008 / EPO
Tom Boonen / 2008 / Coke - outside racing.. maybe just partying. but was suspended.
Floyd Landis / 2006 / Testosterone
Roberto Heras / 2005 / EPO
Tyler Hamilton / 2004 / Blood doping

Actually it might be interesting for someone to do the seven degrees of dopers.. it spans farther than this list and way farther than cycling.

Cascade final day.

Yesterdays race showed the epic power of one. Armstrong.
Levi remains in control

Horner did a pretty cool thing by toting the injured rider in to the finish.. That one will go down in the books of all time good deeds..Now everyone will want to race Cascade!

Today is the final stage up Archie Briggs.
For the early groups of masters and 3/4's and 2's things were rough for some...

Who from the pro mens and womens field will go on attack there?
I will try to collect some photos;

Yeah.. Anti doping threats worked at the Tour

Oh wait keeping the Dopers (*Astana) out didn't seem to scare anyone.

Bye bye Tricky.

Another soldier of the All time greatest army of racers falls to doping. Without the Texan they just get weak and have to turn to the dope.

OH.. it appears there are 9 more who showed abnormal blood results.

"The other nine riders who showed abnormal results will be informed this weekend by the AFLD, but the agency said that it would take no action against the riders other than to suggest that they submit the results to their team doctor "because of the possibility of a health risk," the statement read."

Le Tour is once again Le Tainted.

down town bend..The annual towing of cars begins..

You would think all the signs and notices plastered all over town about no parking and the TOW threat would stop people from parking down on Wall street today.
I saw people pulling into spots this morning walking right past the yellow tape and signs chatting on their cell phone.. a few moments ago a tow truck was hauling their car away....

yah results yesterday were confusing.

I guess the ladies winner was sent off course by accident and penalized.
Poor thing.. that really sucks.
I guess the men were led off course too yesterday.. doh.

Communique:
Rider 221, Kelly McDonald of Touchstone was led off of the course at Sisters and covered 1 mile less than the proscribed distance. Her time was prorated to 3:47:51
